Pull Request Improvements in Visual Studio Team Services
Jan 20, 2016Matthew Mitrik (MS)

Summary
This post introduces several improvements to the pull request experience in Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS): a personalized pull request hub with reorganized views (requested by me, assigned to me, assigned to team) and status rollups; streamlined discussion filtering to show only comments or comments on discussions; the ability to link related work items directly to pull requests and their merge commits; and an improved merge experience with customizable commit messages and the option to delete the source branch. It also announces that squash merging will be available soon.
